Reduction Post Lab1a) Since benzoin and meso-hydrobenzoin have similar melting points, how would you confirm that the product you obtained from this reaction is indeed meso-hydrobenzoin using only the melting point data? Describe briefly how you would carry out this experiment.1b) Why would IR and TLC not be useful for differentiating between meso-hydrobenzoin & its diastereomer?

because natural gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, distributors add mercaptan (a chemical that smells like sulfur) to give natural gas a distinct unpleasant odor (it smells like rotten eggs). they locate the types of rock that are likely to contain natural gas deposits.

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
